Libya has been supporting the Somali Salvation Front, a guerrilla organization based in neighboring Ethiopia which seeks to overthrow Somali President Mohamed Siad Barre's 12-year-old government.
In a speech in the Ethiopian capital of Addis Ababa Saturday, Khadafy said:
'We announce our unlimited support for the Somali National Salvation Front, because Somalia has transformed itself into a base for colonialism and imperialism and was mobilized to fight (against) the revolution in this region.'

More recent documents showed that after the war broke out six months ago, Libya reached out to a former rebel group in the breakaway Somali state of Puntland, the Somali Salvation Front, asking them to send 10,000 fighters to Tripoli to help defend Gaddafi.
